Heh heh... sometimes. The first attempt to hit Mars was under Khruschev (sp?), I think in 1962. He made a cryptic reference to the attempt in a speech, but without giving anything away. And the probe was lost. Think I read about that in Oberg? Anyway, the US, Japan, and Russia have all lost probes.
The US has however the first successful flyby of the planet (1964), the first successful surface probes (1970s), the first rovers. And of course, some expensive failures.

Thanks for the welcome and the original suggestion. I like how the forums work (at least, so far) and how the replies are in one spot. s'cool.

Hey, Kev', here's a ping to an old topic, space-related, which also has the distinction (cough cough) of having been graced by my first-ever FR post (message #8, the "in reply to" link).
